I'm thrilled to see the Michigan Supreme Court ruling in favor of environmental protection! The ruling grants state regulators full authority to ensure livestock and poultry operations better manage the billions of pounds of manure contributing to waterway contamination. This landmark 5-2 decision, the most significant environmental protection measure in Michigan in years, is a testament to the power of persistence and the law in protecting policies that support people, animals, and planet over corporate profit. Nitrates and phosphorus from industrial animal agriculture and the cheap feed grown to support it have long plagued Lake Erie and other state waters, and this ruling marks a crucial step toward a cleaner, healthier environment. At FarmSTAND, we believe in amplifying these wins and investing in the law as a powerful tool for social change. Let's continue to support and celebrate these important strides toward a more equitable and sustainable future! 🌱✨ #LegalWins #SustainableAgriculture #FarmSTAND
